New owner first impressions

[Mark]

I wouldn't replace shocks at 30k "just because". If you're happy with how they feel and perform, you don't need to replace them. Replace them when they no longer meet your personal criteria for ride, handling and responsiveness.

I agree. You could switch the shocks for better ones on a brand new Mirage & notice a difference. My Mirage is at 29,000 miles. I don't see myself changing shocks any time soon.
